HELP problem replacing upper control arms

Aye guys,

I noticed both of my upper control arms were cracked so I bought Fabtech arms to replace them with. I have absolutely no idea how to get these two bolts off on both sides of the shock. They're welded on from the front, and pretty much impossible to get to from the back. The directions say to remove the 2 bolts holding the upper control arm cross shaft to the frame.

I don't know what to do.

Any help is appreciated.

if you havent gotten them off yet, the best way is to go from the top, under the hood. the drivers side isnt that bad but the passenger side sucks. best tool to use is a ratcheting boxed end wrench. also before you take the bolts out make sure you detach the ball joint from the stock arm.
